Flying Lanterns

I saw this fun idea on a wedding website. I thought it would be a lovely thing to do around 11:00. That's when the band will leave if I don't have the budget to keep them a little longer, and gathering the guests who are left to do a lantern launch on the beach would be a fun way to distract everyone while the band leaves.

I know it's silly and totally unnecessary, but I wanted to post the pretty picture. I can't do it anyway, because they can only be launched if the location is over five miles away from an airport and not subject to high winds. Santa Monica beach is a poor candidate for those requirements.
